Know what I love?

Ok Lincoln, we all get that you share a name with an American President, we do, we got it. But that doesn't mean you have to have an eagle for a grille. When you had that consumer study group with middle-aged men to find out what middle-aged men want, and they unanimously agreed on 'spread eagle', this isn't the spread eagle they were referring to. Those poor sons'a bitches.

To me the new MKZ's front end has always looked like a happy man with a handlebar moustache sweeping dramatically backward as he faces into the wind.

It grill isn't an eagle.

It's a hawk. With Night vision goggles!

Why the fuck would a fucking hawk need night vision goggles Lincoln why

It looks to me like a man with his eyebrows where his nose should be.

I seriously can't be the only one who finds the MKZ a looker? Am I?

It just looks good. Not in all photos, but what car does? In person it's gorgeous.

Let's be honest, it's pretty clear what they were going for: this.

Kinja'd!!!

With perhaps a dash of this:

Kinja'd!!!

And some of the following:

Kinja'd!!!

Now did they hit it? Did they succeed? Hell no, but they at least tried.

*ehem... If I may offer some insight.

"Many raptors have foveas with far more rods and cones than the human fovea (65,000/mm2 in American Kestrel, 38,000 in humans) and this provides these birds with spectacular long distance vision. The fovea itself can also be lens-shaped, increasing the effective density of receptors further. This combination of factors gives Buteo buzzards distance vision 6 to 8 times better than humans.
Each retina of the Black-chested Buzzard-eagle has two foveae.

The forward-facing eyes of a bird of prey give binocular vision, which is assisted by a double fovea. The raptor's adaptations for optimum visual resolution (an American Kestrel can see a 2–mm insect from the top of an 18–m tree) has a disadvantage in that its vision is poor in low light level, and it must roost at night"

"Most of those receptors are the type called "cones." "Rods," the receptors of the vertebrate retina that are specialized to function in dim light, are relatively rare. Thus daytime acuity is, in part, achieved at the expense of night vision — a small price to pay for birds that are inactive at night anyway"

Thus the hawks need for either a forward looking infrared system, or night vision goggles.

Yeah, I was little bored. Owls don't see color though, and they actually have more rods than we have cones. They see darkness better than we see daylight!
